Hypothetically, you only have space for five games on your device, regardless of size. You were about to embark on an adventure into a brave new world. A world without computers and device synchronization. You Sync your device one last time, and load up the five games that are going to carry you through for the next eternity. What would they be?

Keep in mind, this is not a 'top 5 games' thread. I imagine we all have different games for different moods and playing environment. I'll play some arcade games when I'm feeling like a challenge, and I want to topple my high-score, but perhaps I'm feeling a little weary and want a slow paced puzzler to carry me off to sleep in.

Please include some reasoning with your list. As there are only going to be five items on your list, I think it is very reasonable that you attach a substantial explanation for each.

1. Chinatown Wars: it's so huge and the possibilities are endless
2. N.O.V.A 2: Nothing pumps me up like a good MP session of N.O.V.A 2
3. League of Evil: The best iOS platformers I've ever played
4. Cut the rope: I need to feed my cutesy addiction while I'm on an expedition
5. Baseball Superstars 2010 HD: what, I need some variety.

Gravity Hook HD (endless climber)
Its HARD, and I really like it. Try over and over to get higher.
Runners up, Canabalt : Doodle Jump

If we cant sync and there are no other computers, your gonna have to be happy with your choices for a LONG time. No multiplayer, and you better not pick something that has an ending. I might throw out one of the above for either Tetris HD or a good klondike solitaire with Vegas rules, but those 5 would be my first choice.

1) Tilt to live - Endless fun with this guy .
2) Helsing's Fire - The best puzzler on the iOS IMO . Especially fun when played on hardest difficulty .
3) Space miner - This dual stick shooter is in it's own league . Not even AoZ can compare to this .
4) Battle for Wesnoth - The longest game I've ever played and because it's turn based , I prefer it over RTS .
5) Papa Sangre - Up for some night time scare anyone ?

mission Europa - hours of game play best game i have played for ios devices without a doubt get it now seriously.
flying hamster - i guess because you always need a shmup on your device.
QWOP - its completely different and awesome...
Dark nebula 2 - its a platformer a racing game a highscore game combined...
minotaur rescue - you need a bit of 8bit love right?
